DISCUSSION Based on the first hypothesis test regarding to the influence of transformational leadership style on employee performance. H1 is rejected. With an original sample value of 0. 178, a t-statistics value of 1. 96, or a P-value of 0. 070 > 0. This result proves that transformational leadership style does not significantly impact employee performance. This means that the transformational leadership style alone cannot improve employee performance. Although leaders are considered competent in being role models and creating a positive work environment, several aspects are still not optimal, such as providing new directions and helping employees solve problems. LeadersAo lack of intellectual stimulation can hinder employees from developing creativity and critical thinking, thereby preventing the maximization of innovation and work efficiency potential.

The results of this study support previous research conducted by . , which state that transformational leadership style does not have a significant effect on employee Based on the second hypothesis test regarding to the influence of organizational culture on employee performance shows that H2 is accepted. With an original sample value of 0. 259, a t-statistics value of 3. > 1. 96, and a P-value of 0. 001 < 0. These results prove that organizational culture has a significant effect on employee performance. This means that the better the organizational culture implemented, the higher the employee performance.

The results of this study support previous research conducted by . , . , . , . , and . , which state that organizational culture has a significant effect on organizational commitment. Based on the fifth hypothesis test regarding the influence of organizational commitment on employee performance, it shows that H5 is accepted. With an original sample value of 0. 534, a t-statistics value of 754 > 1. 96, and a p-value of 0. 000 < 0. These results prove that organizational commitment has a significant effect on employee performance. This means that the higher the organizational commitment employees possess, the higher their performance will be. Employees feel connected to the organization and are encouraged to take responsibility for the organization's progress. This commitment motivates employees to prioritize the interests of the organization over personal interests of the organization over personal interests and to make significant contribution toward achieving goals. Employees will demonstrate better performance with a strong commitment to advancing the organization.

This means that organizational commitment plays a role in mediating the influence of transformational leadership style on employee performance. Transformational leadership applied well by leaders can strengthen employees' emotional attachment and responsibility, ultimately encouraging employees to improve their performance. Competent transformational leaders, confident in facing challenges, and able to serve as role models through expertise, decisiveness, and an inspiring attitude, can create stronger employee commitment. The results of this study support previous research conducted by . , which state that organizational commitment mediates the influence of transformational leadership style on employee performance. Based on the seventh hypothesis test regarding the influence of organizational culture on employee performance through organizational commitment as an intervening variable, it shows that H7 is accepted. With an original sample value of 0. 181, a t-statistics value of 3. 928 > 1. 96, and a P-value of 0. 000 < 0. These results prove that organizational culture indirectly influence employee performance through organizational commitment. This means that organizational commitment plays a role in mediating the influence of organizational culture on employee performance. A good organizational culture enhances organizational commitment, especially in emotional attachment and employees' sense of responsibility. High commitment encourages employees to work more optimally through their dedication to self-development and performance improvement. The results of this study support previous research conducted by . , which state that organizational commitment mediates the influence of organizational culture on employee CONCLUSSION AND RECOMMENDATION CONCLUSSION This research aims to analyze the influence of transformational leadership style and organizational culture on employee performance and examine the role of organizational commitment in mediating the impact of transformational leadership style and organizational culture on employee performance. Based on the results of the analysis and discussion, it can be concluded as follows: The Role of Leadership and Culture in Shaping Employee Performance: A Commitment Perspective (Athoillah, et a. p-ISSN : 2808-8786 e-ISSN : 2798-1355 Transformational leadership style does not have a significant effect on employee performance. Organizational culture has a significant effect on employee performance. Transformational leadership style has a significant effect on organizational commitment. Organizational culture has a significant effect on organizational commitment. Organizational commitment has a significant effect on employee performance. Transformational leadership style has a significant effect on employee performance through organizational commitment. Organizational culture has a significant effect on employee performance through organizational RECOMMENDATION The limitation of this study is that the respondents are predominantly . lmost 90%) married employees. Therefore, future research is advised to use marital status as a control variable, especially when studying The analysis results show that the employee performance variableAos R-square value indicates have not been studied. Therefore, subsequent research recommended exploring other variables influencing employee performance, such as organizational climate, compensation, extrinsic rewards, and intrinsic rewards . Future researchers should conduct studies on different objects, such as organizations with different cultural backgrounds, to expand the generalization of results . Based on the descriptive analysis of the transformational leadership style variable, leaders can enhance communication and provide more interactive discussion forums so that employees gain new insight and more innovative solutions. The analysis of the organizational culture variable indicate that leaders can develop sustainable innovation programs, form special teams for research and development, and provide adequate budgets to support the development of new strategies. Meanwhile, the organizational commitment variable analysis shows that employees need to build an emotional attachment to the organization by being more active in various organizational activities, improving communication with colleagues and superiors, and understanding the organizationAos vision and mission more deeply. Furthermore, the results of the descriptive analysis of employee performance variables indicate that employees need to improve their time management skills and task completion strategies by creating more structured work plans, setting task priorities, and developing more effective work techniques, such as goal-based task management.
